Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way my I am achieving my dreams.
American professional basketball player for the Chicago Sky of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Candace Parker is a very big woman -- around half a foot taller than the average height of men in the United States.
Wikipedia lists her height as 6 feet 4 inches and weight as 184 lb (83 kg). Though from what we have seen of Candace, she looks a little shorter than a 6 feet 4.5 inches tall Lisa Leslie and a 6 feet 5 inches tall Kobe Bryant.
It is crazy that as tall as Candace is, she would look like a little girl next to someone like Liz Cambage who is 6 ft 8 in tall.
The real height of Candace Parker is
6'3½" or 191.5 cm
